Planning in the Moment with Young Children

By Anna Ephgrave (Routledge, £19.99)

Children live in the here and now – so adults should seize the moment when it comes to promoting children’s learning through spontaneous planning, according to the author. This book provides examples of how; from timetabling to setting clear rules, creating enabling environments, keeping records and making use of a variety of materials. Examples from practice are rooted in theory, while the book has photocopiable pages including planning sheets, documentation and activity sheets, and tailored advice on working with parents, and children at different stages of development, from birth to age six, and groups.
